My mission for this mini-series is to share with our listener community stories and memories of the great man and his impact. It is also designed to be a resource for family, friends and colleagues when they need a little Dan Lunardi. Dan is the older brother of Travis and Blake Lunardi. Their relationship is special, their family is special, and Dan's impact on both of these guys is truly very special. A massive pat on the back to both of Dan's parents. In this conversation, Blake and Trav share their thoughts and feelings about Dan, they share some of their fondest memories and some of the heartaches they are experiencing. The courage and vulnerability they have in the conversation are nothing short of inspirational, and I know Dan would be smiling knowing the young men he had a massive influence on.

I picked up a conversation with Corey McCall, the senior coach of Altona Vikings, someone that Dan worked closely with in his coaching role at the football club. Corey has a beautiful way of sharing the impact that Dan had on this sporting community, he also does a particularly good Dan impersonation. Corey brings a candid approach to our conversation and left me with a smile on my face. It was the first time I had met Corey and I immediately understood why he and Dan had such a good relationship.
